{"product_id":"9781441241924","title":"John Calvin as Teacher, Pastor, and Theologian: The Shape of His Writings and Thought","description":"John Calvin has been the subject of numerous studies, but most have focused on one aspect of his thought or a limited selection of his writings. This study of Calvin adopts a uniquely holistic approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRandall Zachman begins with a brief biography and considers Calvin's own understanding of his ministry as a teacher and pastor. From this perspective, he surveys Calvin's writings and their place in the work of reforming the church--both through the training of clergy and the instruction of the laity. Zachman then considers Calvin as a theologian. In contrast to Martin Luther, Calvin sought to balance the verbal proclamation of the Word with an emphasis on the visible manifestation of God--both in creation and in Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis study will be of great interest to Reformed clergy and to students of the Reformation and Calvinism.","brand":"Baker Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154353406192,"sku":"9781441241924","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441241924_p0.jpg?v=1763793673","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441241924","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
